Wanda Sykes and Alex, who met in 2006, were married on Oct. 25, 2008, at a small hotel in Palm Springs, California. The following month, Sykes confirmed the news at a gay rights rally in Las Vegas. "I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay," she said, according to PEOPLE.

Sykes was previously married to record producer David Hall. The couple split in 1998.
